正文(英文) | July 24, 2019 Mont-Joli, Quebec — Canada has some of the most spectacular coastlines in the world, and our oceans are home to marine life of many kinds.

The Government of Canada is committed to the conservation and recovery of these endangered whales. We are making further investments to support scientific research, in collaboration with Canadian and international partners, to better understand the pressures facing marine mammals and to protect them from further harm. To help achieve these important goals, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, and Member of Parliament for Avignon-La Mitis-Matane-Matapédia and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, Rémi Massé, announced today in Mont-Joli, Quebec, that the Government of Canada is investing nearly $3 million for 12 new whale science initiatives, through various government funding programs, including Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan and the Whales Initiative. These whale science initiatives aim to support the conservation and recovery of endangered marine mammals through:
The projects supported by these investments will help us better understand the threats facing marine mammals, including the St. Lawrence Estuary Beluga, North Atlantic Right Whale and the Southern Resident Killer Whale, and ensure we make the right decisions to protect these extraordinary species and their sensitive marine environment.
